About this map

Live Oak anchors the eastern edge of this Suwannee County landscape, where the urban grid gives way to a sprawling network of numbered county roads and agricultural plots. The western outskirts of the city are defined by transportation and utility, featuring the Suwannee County Airport and the prominent corridor of Railroad St. To the west and north, smaller named settlements such as Dickert, Starr, and Mercer mark the intersections of rural life, reflecting the region's long history of scattered community hubs.

Local history is etched into the terrain at sites like the Rock Cut Cem, located near the rail line and old thoroughfares like Howard St W. The survey reveals a landscape characterized by frequent depressional wetlands and sinkholes, typical of this Florida karst region, which dictate the winding paths of roads like Newbern Rd and CR 136. This record is essential for tracing the evolution of property lines and rural infrastructure in the years following the turn of the millennium.
